1. GENERAL This Airplane Flight Manual supplement provides a general description of the FLYMAP L GPS and multifunctional display system and its basic operation and integration into the AQUILA AT01-100. For a more detailed description of the FLYMAP L System and full operating instructions, refer to the effective issue of the FLYMAP L Operating Manual. The information contained within this supplement must be used in conjunction with the complete Airplane Flight Manual. Furthermore, the Operating Manual of the FLYMAP L Multifunctional Display must always be carried on board the aircraft. 2. OPERATING LIMITATIONS The utilization of the FLYMAP L System as navigation equipment and as primary flight display is limited to operations under VFR conditions. For this reason, placard 19 of the basic Airplane Flight Manual (refer to section 2.16) must be installed in the instrument panel in the immediate vicinity of the FLYMAP L display: GPS FOR INFORMATION ONLY The FLYMAP L system is intended for information purposes only. The installation of the FLYMAP system does not release the pilot from his responsibilities of proper flight planning and preparation as well as complying with the navigation procedures regulated by the applicable national operating requirements during the flight. At any time, the pilot must be able to use other navigation means such as visual navigation in the case of a failure of the FLYMAP L system. The display of the primary flight display page on the FLYMAP L system also serves solely as additional information for the pilot. The primary analogue instruments are still the relevant information source for the estimation of flight attitude and flight condition. Flight maneuvering must not be based solely on the use of information presented on the PFD display. If collision warnings and the position of other aircraft are displayed on the FLYMAP L system in the moving map mode on the basis of a data link to external collision warning systems such as FLARM, this information does not release the pilot from his responsibilities to properly and thoroughly observe the surrounding airspace. Prior to initiating any evasion maneuvers due to collision warnings, the pilot has to visually obtain a thorough overview of the real traffic situation in the surrounding airspace, potential obstacles, actual weather situation, the surrounding terrain conditions as well as the position, altitude and direction of movement of the displayed threat. Furthermore, collision warnings are only displayed, if the other aircraft is equipped with the same or a compatible collision warning system. Under no circumstances should a pilot FM-AT01-1010-243 A.02 28.05.2013 15.10.2013-3
adopt different tactics or deviate from the normal principles of safe airmanship. Adequate airspace observation should never be replaced by a collision warning system. It is strongly recommended to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the FLYMAP L system and its various application and configuration opportunities on the ground before operating it in flight. The system must be operated in a way so that the situational awareness of the pilot, particularly with regard to a proper airspace observation, is never compromised. 3. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES The FLYMAP L system is installed as optional equipment whose failure is uncritical under all operational conditions. In the case of a complete failure of the FLYMAP L system or malfunctions of its subsystems, the remaining navigation equipment must be used as required or visual navigation undertaken. In the case of fire, smoke, smell of cable burning or electromagnetic incompatibilities caused by the FLYMAP L, the system must be immediately shut down by pulling its circuit breaker which is marked NAV/GPS 1 or 2. For further actions, follow the relevant emergency procedure defined in the basic Airplane Flight Manual. CAUTION In the case of an alternator failure, follow the relevant procedure defined in the basic Airplane Flight Manual. The FLYMAP L system as optional equipment is not part of the minimum equipment list of the aircraft, whose listed equipment is per definition essential for the safe operation of the aircraft. If the pilot takes the decision on the basis of the actual situation not to deactivate the FLYMAP L system to reduce the electrical load, it is highly recommended to reduce the brightness of the display to the lowest value. The electric power consumption of the FLYMAP L system can be considerably reduced by this measure. In such a case, the function Nearest Airfield of the FLYMAP L may be used to navigate directly to the next airfield. 4. NORMAL PROCEDURES No change to the basic Airplane Flight Manual. A short description regarding the operation of the FLYMAP L system is contained in section 7 of this supplement. FM-AT01-1010-243 A.02 28.05.2013 15.10.2013-4
5. PERFORMANCE No change to the basic Airplane Flight Manual. 6. WEIGHT AND BALANCE The change in empty weight and the corresponding center of gravity after the installation or removal of the FLYMAP L system must be determined and recorded in accordance with section 6 of the basic Airplane Flight Manual. 7. SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION GENERAL The GPS and multifunctional display FLYMAP L is a system that processes and displays GPS navigation data on a moving map providing the capability to support the pilot in the preparation and direct realization of flight planning after entering the planned flight route into the system in terms of displaying all relevant navigation information on the moving map. Beside of the illustration of the planned route as the target flight route and the deviation of the actual flight track with regard to this target route, the FLYMAP L system is furnished with a comprehensive data base containing VFR charts, models of the airspace structure, airfields, VFR approach charts for the stored airfields, terrain information and aircraft checklists, provided that they have been entered and saved by the user. The FLYMAP L system also offers the capability to recall regularly actual weather data and other relevant information for flight (NOTAMS, etc.) from internet via mobile network und to depict this information on the map or superimpose it on the display if the system is equipped with the optional GSM module. Furthermore, the FLYMAP L system can be connected to TCAS or other collision warning equipment such as the FLARM system by a data cable to show collision warning alerts with other aircraft on the moving map in the navigation mode of the FLYMAP System. For the, a connection to the FLARM collision warning system is offered as an option provided that the FLARM system is installed into the aircraft. If the AHRS sensor of the FLYMAP L system is optionally installed in the aircraft, the primary flight parameters may be shown on the display of the FLYMAP L as a primary flight display (PFD). For the determination and processing of indicated airspeed (IAS), altitude and vertical speed, the AHRS sensor has to be connected to the on-board pitot-static pressure system. Furthermore, the AHRS sensor is equipped with an integrated vertical accelerometer and the relevant sensor systems for the determination of aircraft attitude. The display of the FLYMAP L system has touch-screen technology that considerably simplifies the operation and handling of the system. This enables the user to quickly switch between the different display modes (moving map and PFD) via the system menu. Data input for the flight planning module, the change of the system configuration and display setup is also conducted in the system menu. FM-AT01-1010-243 A.02 28.05.2013 15.10.2013-5
Since the user of the FLYMAP L system is provided with a variety of opportunities to configure the kind and manner of the data representation on the display, only the general structure of the menu and the basic functions of the FLYMAP L system are described below. For a more detailed description and full operating instructions, refer to the effective issue of the Operator s Manual of the FLYMAP L System. OPERATION In order to activate the FLYMAP L, the ALT/BAT switch has to be in the ON position and the NAV/GPS1 or 2 circuit breaker pushed in. ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION OF THE FLYMAP L Provided that the associated circuit breaker is pushed in, the FLYMAP L system is activated as soon as the Avionic switch is turned to ON position. After the activation of the system, the FLYMAP L runs through a self-test and system initialization routine. The FLYMAP L is ready for operation as soon as the start-up routine has been completed. After the start-up process, the moving map appears on the display with the aircraft symbol centered on the present position of the aircraft. The aircraft may be operated in this mode without conducting any further operation steps. In this case, the FLYMAP L would act as a normal moving map. If the planned flight route is to be shown on the display, the departure airfield, destination and all waypoints have to be entered into the FLYMAP L system before take-off by pressing the Menu button on the screen and selecting the tab (sub-menu) Flight Planning for the entry of the departure and destination airfield and the tab Waypoints for the waypoint entry. Selection is done by touching the corresponding button or field on the screen with the finger. Data entry occurs in a similar to that of car navigation systems. Analogous to the activation of the system, the FLYMAP L system is deactivated when the Avionic Master switch is turned to the OFF position. In addition, the FLYMAP L may be deactivated at any time by pulling the NAV/GPS1 or 2 circuit breaker. FM-AT01-1010-243 A.02 28.05.2013 15.10.2013-6

In addition to the 4 view boxes on the upper left and right corners of the display, additional view boxes with GPS altitude and height above ground may be shown on the right and left side of the display underneath the existing view boxes. This can be achieved by activating the corresponding button in the sub-menu Display Options. The unit of the parameter shown in the view boxes can be changed by touching the corresponding view box on the display. For ground speed indication, for example, the user may choose between the unit km/h, knots or miles per hour. The analogue applies for the other view boxes. In each case, the last setting will be saved. The map section shown may be scaled up or down by means of the transparent + and "-" zoom boxes located in the lower left corner of the display. System mode (system configuration and data entry) is selected by touching the transparent Menu button which is located adjacent to the map zoom buttons. All sub-menus can be accessed by the user via system mode for the configuration and activation of individual modules such as the flight planning module, for data entry, or the change of the system configuration and display settings, respectively. In navigation mode, the complete touch-screen is subdivided into hidden functional fields as shown in the illustration below. The map can be scrolled into the shown direction (left, right, up, down, diagonal, refer to the subsequent illustration) by touching the screen in the corresponding field. If the aircraft symbol disappears after repeated scrolling of the map, the map may be re-centered on the actual aircraft position by touching the central segment of the screen. Subdivision of the screen into logic-functional fields Provided that the departure airfield, destination and all waypoints has been entered in the system mode before take-off (tab/sub-menu Flight Planning for the entry of the departure and destination airfield and the tab/sub-menu Waypoints for the waypoint entry), the planned flight route is shown, superimposed on the map in the navigation mode as the target route (course). All deviations from this target route are indicated by a deviation bar on a scale located near the upper edge of the display which is similar to the presentation on the CDI (course deviation indicator). An arrow is located in the middle of the course deviation scale pointing towards the direction in which the pilot must turn to regain the target track. If the arrow points straight upwards and the deviation bar is in the middle of the scale congruent with (covered by the) arrow, the aircraft is exactly on the desired target course.
